The goal of the Code of Good Practice is to create an industry that will proudly reflect the promise of a non-racial, non-sexist and prosperous South Africa PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT The purpose of this document is to set out administrative principles in order to facilitate the effective implementation of the minerals and mining legislation and enhance the implementation of the Broad-Based Socio-Economic Charter applicable to the mining industry and to give effect to section 100 (1) (b) of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 by developing a Code of Good Practise for the minerals industry in the Republic.

9 10 NO GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 29 APRIL INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE On the 1 51 of May 2004 the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (Act No. 28 of 2002) was proclaimed by the State President to be in operation, as a result the Broad-Based Socio-Economic Charter for the mining industry was also put into operation to promote equitable access to the nation's mineral resources to all people of South Africa in order to substantially and meaningfully expand opportunities for historically disadvantaged South Africans. The development of the Code of Good Practice (the Code) for the minerals industry in the Republic is a requirement provided for in section 100 (1) (b) of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act The Code does not replace the key legislation and laws relating to the minerals and the petroleum industry but serves as a statement of present policy providing an overview and confirmation of the existing mineral and mining policy that is in place. The applicability and the enforcement of this Code cannot be divorced from the Mining Charter and the key legislation in relation to the measurement of the socio-economic transformation in the mining industry. The Code can be amended by the Minister of Minerals and Energy when there is a change in mining policy and legislation. This Code refers to a socio-economic strategy, plan, principles, approach or act, which is aimed at transforming the minerals industry so as to provide for the facilitation and benefits from the under-mentioned elements of the Code. The Code is intended for use by labour organisations, non-governmental organisations, financiers, Government departments, individuals, communities, beneficiation industry, minerals and mining industry: Codes of Good Practice for 7
